How to discard a used battery

Some FURUNO products have a battery(ies). To see if your product has a battery, see the chapter

on Maintenance. If a battery is used, tape the + and - terminals of the battery before disposal to pre-

vent fire, heat generation caused by short circuit.

In the European Union

must not be discarded in standard trash, or at a trash site. Take the

used batteries to a battery collection site according to your national

legislation and the Batteries Directive 2006/66/EU.

The Mobius loop symbol (three chasing arrows) indicates that

Ni-Cd and lead-acid rechargeable batteries must be recycled.

Take the used batteries to a battery collection site according to

local laws.

In the other countries

There are no international standards for the battery recycle symbol. The number of symbols can in-

crease when the other countries make their own recycle symbols in the future.

2. DISPLAY CATEGORIES AND

CATEGORY SPECIFIC MENUS

This chapter explains the various menu operations and on-screen indications for each

display category.

Depending on the data currently selected to be displayed, the analog and digital data

displayed on-screen may differ.

Data input from external sources may exceed the displayable value on the FI-70. In

such cases, the FI-70 displays the maximum value with an asterisk indicated. For ex-

ample, when the SOG (in knots) data input to the FI-70 is higher than the upper limit,

the FI-70 displays the SOG as [*99.9kn]. If the value is outside the FI-70’s computable

range, the indication appears as “- - . - -” (hyphens).
